When we first met Tim Marwood, the original distiller and Proprietor of Timboon Railway Shed Distillery, we found him to be a very upfront, obliging individual, willing to answer just about any question we had for him. Naturally, we were pretty excited by the quality his first three products (and the fact there's a whisky coming) and had plenty of questions. All this changed when we asked Tim "how do you make the coffee liqueur?" His lips were sealed.

Our further investigations have had limited success. Some inside sources suggest local honey is included, with some hazelnut and vanilla, another suggests strong input from the local dairy industry, even goes as far to suggest methods employed in the production of another of Timboon's famous delicacies, Timboon Ice Cream, are used in the production of this liqueur.

Tasting notes: Totally opaque 'white and two' colour cream appearance is milk-like in the glass. Offers up decadent scents of caramel nib ice cream, iced coffee and milk chocolate. Rich, cream-textured palate delivers flavours of iced coffee, hazelnut, chocolate and honey. Well balanced. Clean finish; long aftertaste of honey, coffee and chocolate with a trace of the base spirit shining through. Great stuff. Little wonder the recipe is such a closely guarded secret! 16.0% Alc./Vol.
